The Courage to Stand AloneScripture: Daniel 3:18 “But if not… we will not bow." (But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”)We live in a world where standing alone feels uncomfortable, even intimidating. People want to fit in, blend in, and be accepted. There's pressure to agree, pressure to stay quiet, and pressure to avoid being “different.” But listen to me today: Sometimes the only way to stand for God… is to stand alone.Accept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You. I believe that Jesus is Your Son, who died and rose for my sake. I ask you to forgive me for my sin. I place my trust in You for salvation. I receive you as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, I am forgiven! Amen!"****Congratulations! You are now a child of the most high. John 1:12 says, But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. If you just prayed this prayer to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, I welcome you to the family of God.

As we begin the Advent season, on the first Sunday the Christian Church around the world often begins by talking about hope. Hope is the persistent trust that believes and acts as though the thing hoped for will happen. In the past, the Jewish people persisted in hope that the Messiah would come. He did come as Messiah Jesus. Today, Christians persist in hope that Jesus will come again to set not just humans right with God but all things! But hoping in the midst of pain and struggle, when we can't see with our eyes proof that we aren't hoping in vain, is difficult. Join us as Pastor Jessica opens God's Word to encourage us to persist in hope. Join us for service every Sunday at 9:15am or 11:00am (EST). Here are ways to connect with us!Text TODAY to 937-358-6565 to let us know you decided to say 'Yes!' to Jesus leading your life.

Message from Bishop Paul Donison on 29/11/2025
LEARNING TO STAND ALONE (Acts 6:3-15; 7:51-60) I want to talk to you today about “Learning to Stand Alone.” I thank God for the power that we have when we stand together. Someone has said that “One will chase a thousand; ten will chase ten thousand.” Thank God for the power that we have to stand together as brothers and sisters in Christ. But you know, the time may come when you are all by yourself, when you don't have your brothers and sisters in Christ around about you. And you are going to have to learn how to stand alone. There is coming a time when you are going to have to be one against the crowd, and you are going to be all by yourself against great odds. One of most common situations for Christians today where this is true, is when we send our kids off to college. If your child is a follower of Christ, then they are going to have to stand alone, even at our religious universities and seminaries. They will have in their college classes, atheistic, agnostic, cynics, for professors. They may be the only Christian in that class, and they are going to have to stand up for the Lord Jesus. Another common area is on your job, where you are forced to deal with DEI mandates from your employer, and training on how to interact with people who believe that being a Christian, and having Christian morals, is an offence that you can be fired for. But, you will have to stand up for the Lord Jesus. The point is that there are times when we are going to have to stand alone, because we are twice-born people in a world of once-born people, and we are going to find ourselves going against the tide. And as we get closer to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are going to find that the opposition is sharpening, and the hostility is emerging more vicious, and more furious than ever, and we will have to stand alone. The Bible says that we are to stand against that evil. It says to “take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” (Ephesians 6:13) Our job, our duty, and our privilege is to stand for Christ. Click on the link below to hear a message on the secret to standing for Christ. If you have to stand alone, then stand alone, and let the Holy Spirit of God give you wisdom to speak for Christ. Let him give you power to stand for Christ. Let him give you faith to suffer for Christ. This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.
This Thanksgiving, explore the powerful truth that you don't have to find your way to God. He came to you! See how Jesus' life, from the ordinary to the extraordinary, opened the door so you could finally come home.

November 23rd, 2025 | Standalone | 1 Peter 1:3-7What does it really mean to be sure of your salvation? In a world where certainty is rare and often feels impossible, Pastor Ben Lofton turns to 1 Peter 1:3–7 to help believers discover where true assurance is found—and how to recognize the evidence of a transformed life.In this stand-alone message, positioned between sermon series, Pastor Ben dives deep into one of the most foundational questions of the Christian faith: How can I know that I'm truly saved? Whether you struggle with doubt, wrestle with false assurance, or simply want to grow in confidence before God, this passage offers clarity, hope, and solid ground.Through Peter's words to suffering, persecuted believers, we explore three essential truths:Salvation is an act of God's grace, made possible through the finished work of Jesus—not something we earn or achieve on our own.Our salvation is held and guarded by God, secured by the Holy Spirit and sustained by God's power, not our performance.Assurance is revealed through transformation, as genuine faith produces real fruit, endurance, and an ongoing work of the Spirit in our lives.Pastor Ben reminds us that the Christian life is one of long obedience, shaped over time by the power of the Holy Spirit. A transformed heart leads to a transformed life—not perfectly, but undeniably. And the evidence of that transformation becomes the foundation of our assurance.Whether you're seeking confidence in your salvation, discerning areas of needed growth, or longing to see the work of God more clearly in your life, this message will point you back to the hope, security, and transforming power of Jesus.Join us for The Evidence of Assurance, and allow Scripture to steady your heart and strengthen your faith.Do you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

Thanksgiving is meant to be more than a once a year thing, but something we do on a daily basis. Why is thankfulness so important in our Christian lives? What helps us live our lives in a posture of ongoing thankfulness? Join us this Sunday as we take a look at Psalm 30 and consider what it means to live "A Life of Thanksgiving."

This sermon emphasizes that every believer hears from God, and His communication is constant, not dependent on our spiritual state or actions. It explains that God's nature—as omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and fully loving—means He speaks through His Word, our circumstances, our thoughts, and emotions, always expressing His will perfectly. The message encourages practical engagement with God's voice, starting with immersing oneself in Scripture to recognize His communication in everyday life.
Rob pauses our series through Revelation to address a key finding in our Spiritual Health Survey. What does it mean to biblically, intentionally, consistently disciple your home? Each of us are called to discipline in this area - both on a personal level and in our sphere of influence. Rob uses Deuteronomy 6:4-9 to outline God's call for us to be diligent with our words and actions, and faithful in our lives and in our homes.

On November 15, 2025, our beloved Jackie Plante went home to be with the Lord. Pastor Scott shares about the way she loved and ministered to people even in her final hours in the hospital. The good news is that Christ followers can mourn Jackie's passing with grounded hope. To process this as a community, Pastor Scott preaches from 2 Corinthians 5:1-10, reflecting on what happens when a believer dies—how our earthly bodies, like tents, give way to an eternal home crafted by God Himself. What is mortal is ultimately “swallowed up by life.” Scripture assures us that believers pass immediately into the presence of Christ, clothed with a body fashioned by Him. With that confidence, we live—and die—with unshakable courage and hope.
